and much to his delight, Anna greets him with overflowing love and affection. Later that night David expresses his trepidation and guilt of the age difference in their relationship. Anna assures David that her love for him is still there, and that it is stronger than ever for him remaining faithful to her. The couple has only a short time together as David dies (possibly of heart failure or old age) a few days later. After David's death, Anna's doctor comes by the house, asking the grief-stricken widow, where she will go from here. She replies, in a sorrowful manner, “Go on living.” Anna then has a flash back to her first date with David when he gave Anna her motto (“Today is the first day of the rest of your life”). She then tearfully glances at the doctor and utters to him “Today is the first day of the rest of my life,” knowing David would want her to go on living her life. Cast Mark Burns ...

Doctor Armayor Production Lynne Frederick got the part of Anna largely because she had the ability to cry out of either eye on cue. Due to the production's low budget, many of the outfits that Frederick wore in the film were from her own personal wardrobe. She recycled some of these outfits a year later when she starred in the film Schizo (1976). Frederick herself did all her own singing for the film's English soundtrack. The songs on the Spanish soundtrack were performed by vocalist, Mariví Navarrete. The film's score never had an official soundtrack release and, like the movie, remains obscure. The film was shot in Madrid, Segovia, Venice and Mallorca, in 1975. Release A Long Return was released in Spain on 26 May 1975. In Italy it was released under the title "A Venezia muore un'estate". One alternate English title it was released under was "A Long Returning". Home video The film was only available in the early '80s on PAL Betamax and VHS. It was released in English, Spanish, Italian, and English with Greek subtitles. The film was never available
